Two sided document

Post by nff »

Hi,
how can i begin a two sided document with a right page?

I've tried with

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,titlepage]{article}
but it doesn't work: document begin with a left page.
\usepackage[italian]{babel}

You should change the class: try report. Or insert a blank page first.

Hi nff,

this code line starts an article document twosided and with titlepage. The first page gets the pagenumber 1 and this is an odd number. Odd numbers are right pages in twosided documents. So where's the problem?
You wrote that your document begins with a left page. Does that mean your document begins with an even page? Or perhaps do you mean that the margins are not like intended?

Hi nff,

you could use the geometry package, see its documentation (5.3 Margin Size).

Example:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[inner=3.0cm,outer=2.0cm,tmargin=2.5cm,bmargin=2.5cm]{geometry}
